So my friend bought a roll over that we are fixing up. Its a 94 ext toy pickup with a 4" IFS lift. Has 4" blocks in back. At some point when the previous owner owned it the U bolts worked themselves loose and the blocks, shock/u bolt plate, and u bolts moved around. Well we noticed a slight oil leak coming from under the u bolt plate.
Sure enough on each side of his axle tube right below the perch there are small hairline cracks. Just enough for oil to seep through.
My question is how would you go about fixing it? JB weld? Replace the axle housing? We are planning on running a bead over it and grinding it flush. Anyone ran into something similar? Thanks.:beer:
